Philippe Olivier: Philippe Olivier - Cheese!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Name of Shop: Philippe Olivier

    If you are a cheese lover then you have chosen the right place to visit in France! Philippe Olivier is a cheese shop in the heart of Boulogne. Rumour has it that it is one of the largest cheese shops in France, with the largest selection of cheeses on offer in Northern France.

    Needless to say, it is a little stinky!

    Staff are helpful in trying to make even the most French-challenged tourist happy with their choices.

    What To Buy: We stopped in here on our 2nd visit to Boulogne and picked out several cheeses to take back to London and enjoy. The selection included a camembert, a couple of goats cheese varieties and a firmer 'gouda' style cheese. A couple of the selections were a little too 'ripe' for my liking, but the rest were delicious.

    What To Pay: Less than you would expect

    Shopping in Boulogne is varied enough to keep everyone happy….even those hardened shoppers such as VT’er Mariajoy!

    In the Upper City there are some really interesting antique shops, along side some gift shops.

    The town centre has some fabulous patisseries, and wine stores, along with the twice weekly food and flower market.

    There are also the usual clothing and shoe shops as well, lining the main streets and pedestrian zones.

    What To Buy: Boulogne is renowned for its cheese shops and there are a few of these to visit and do some tasting and perhaps purchasing.
